PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

encouraged to read the

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Hi,Slick! Thanks for your heads up. I just got rid of my extra "a" in disabled. I'm glad this MB has an edit button. I don't think TJ's husband has a disability. I think it was just a temporary injury. A sprain, perhaps.

Hearts on the "i"s in her often grossly misspelled words, you mean?

I am intrested in knowing about TJ's business as I am intrested in helping the public understanding learning, mental and physical disablities. It not only about making my life better but society in general. As a society if we can not see a physical disability we do not think it real and don't take the time to understand it. This is my first thread due to my own personal learning disabilty and the fact that it hard to post when you know others don't understand why you do things like spell incorrectly or make grammer mistakes that come so easy to them. I think TJ is helping herself so she can be a better person for more then just her personal life. I commend how she put ups with the insenstive others in the house and in society. I believe TJ understands what a learning disabilty is and it is sad that the show did not do more to educated the viewers in the basic definition for the foundation of learning disabilties that states "A learning disability is a neurological disorder. which results from a difference in the way a person's brain is "wired." people with learning disabilities are as smart or smarter than their peers. But they may have difficulty reading, writing, spelling, reasoning, recalling and/or organizing information and have a diffcult time figure things out by themselves or if taught in conventional ways. A learning disability can't be cured or fixed; it is a lifelong issue." I wrote on my first posting how I was a closet board watcher due to the fear of the abuse of others as I seen her deal with on the show and I am sure in society and I am sure that happens else were in her life with people who are judgmental and don't understand disabilites but have to attack others to keep from taking the time to look at their own faults.

I didn't watch the firs season, but I've read, on numerous MB's, that far more emphasis was placed on actually helping the women. I think moving to LA really hurt the show. And, wonder if, had this move not occurred, there would be at least a fourth season of SO.

A short while ago EMTBGRL wrote something very interesting about the ability to spell correctly and about dyslexia. I have a lot of trouble myself. I use a hard cover copy dictionary and still have a difficult time. I know the ability to spell doesn't show how intelligent a person is-just as I know the content of what some say makes me cringe more than spelling or grammatical mistakes. I too wish the show went into more detail. I also know that the people we may not understand today may be the ones who can help our children tomorrow. ( or somethiong like that) Keep posting!

LAST EDITED ON 07-20-06 AT 12:03 PM (EST)>Two points. > >First, I wish people would proofread >what they post. There >are basic english grammar errors >that make reading very cumbersome. > > >Second, and don't hate on me >for pointing out the first >point. I have always >suggested invest in a hard >copy dictionary when you have >confusion over a spelling. > Uh oh, people in glass houses... 1. "English" should be capitalized. 2. The first sentence in the second paragraph is incomplete. 3. We don't "hate on" someone, we "hate" them. 4. The second sentence in the second paragraph is incorrectly written. A better sentence would be, “I have always recommended investing in a hardcopy dictionary when there is confusion about spelling." 5. Unless you (slickeronstate) are addressing a specific person for whom you have repeatedly recommended the use of a hardcopy dictionary, it is not appropriate to use the personal pronoun “you” in your last sentence; it is not consistent with the indefinite pronoun “people” in the first paragraph. Did I mention that I am severely ADHD and take the same medication as TJ? My real point? TJ is my new favorite! Today was the last day at the Habitat for Humanity house and I have gained a lot of respect for TJ. She works hard; she seems to play it straight with people; and she didn’t react when Christina told her to “F” off. I also like how she warned people that she was running out of her Adderal. My least favorite? It’s a tie between Lisa and Allison. I thought the people on this board were being too harsh about Lisa, but as of this episode I think she is a really screwed up lady/girl. In my opinion, she is a strange mix of awkward, narcissistic, immature, perverted, lazy, spoiled, and self-centered. I am totally annoyed with Allison’s philosophical summaries about everything. Is it just me, or does anyone else think she gets the most air time? I think that it is wonderful that TJ confronts Allison about her drinking—she IS her accountability partner and it’s not supposed to be a wine-tasting party for Allison. She needs to be called on her inconsistency (i.e., “a wino is not the same as an alcoholic”). Christina sure looked childish (physically and mentally) on this episode. Did anyone notice the part where Lisa had her arm around her on the sofa? She looked like she was 10 years old! Her comments were transparent (trying to act like she wasn’t bothered by TJ). Did you also catch the tacky comment she made while she was digging (“I didn’t learn this at Stripper 101”)?

I like the idea of sending something to the network to see if it would get forward to her and I may take that as it a great idea that I had not thought of. I recently took a job working for adults who are trying to acquire independent living skills and was looking for new ideas and resources and how all this began about what TJ did for a living. Maybe if I do send something on letterhead we can make a connection and see where it goes. I really not sure how far I wanted to take this since I not wanting to weird her out about someone invading her privacy. I really respect her and how she has handled herself on the show and realize I am just a viewer who is a fan. If anyone is interested in learning more about learning disabilities there are several wonderful sites that can help with information. Learning disabilities of American is a great site http://www.ldanatl.org/ but even on that site you have to sort through the info about kids to get to the info about learning disabilities of adults. Here is a link if anyone is interested in learning more about identifying adults with learning disabilities http://www.ldanatl.org/newsbriefs/index.asp.

LAST EDITED ON 07-20-06 AT 05:33 PM (EST)I am not sure if you have seen the entire season but I would doubt that you will hear back from TJ so please don't be disappointed. TJ is not her real name and she was pushed verbally on camera by Lisa1 (I believe) in an attempt to reveal it. She is also one of the very few HG's who has not don a MYSpace page. She has done no online chats either about her experiences at SO and has not been selling jewelry, paintings, knit hats or other crap all over ebay. Neither has the SO and B-M publicity machine put out a press release on how wonderful TJ's SO experiences were blah blah (I hope my sarcasm and respect for her not doing so shines through here). I truly doubt that she wants the publicity that reality television has brought her. You might send something to Jill via her website and ask her to pass it along to TJ also.
